Im neutral in this Austin VS. Johnson debate but my opinion is that CJ is the better receiver...idk what it is but he strikes fear in my heart and austin does not. i would also take CJ on my team over austin anyday

I guess... I mean weve played all of 2 games. Whoever you root for must be garbage because I've never known a season to be over after 2 meaningless september games. We'll talk come playoff time.

What are you going to talk about come playoff time? Last year was the first time the Cowboys made it to the 2nd round with Romo... Meaningless huh? 1 more loss and your HC is fired, but I guess September games are meaningless...

I think Calvin Johnson is a little bit overrated too. I think he has top 5 talent, but no way in hell does he have top 5 production. Everyone talks about how he is constantly double-teamed, but don't you think that guys like Andre Johnson, Randy Moss, Larry Fitzgerald, and Austin deal with the same double teams that CJ deals with? He doesn't have that killer instinct the Moss or Andre have. IMO, he's a little bit soft.

Don't get me wrong, i'd take him on my team anyday, but to say Calvin is an elite WR in the league right now just isn't true. Sure, he may have more talent then all of them, but it hasn't traslated to the field, yet.

actually, austin doesnt face many double teams. its been talked about to death in the other thread, but miles gets more one on one matchups than any other #1 WR in the league IMO

Yea what is he thinking not wanting to drive next to or near drunk people. I have never met a more sheltered scaredy cat. As a hobby i find 10-15 homeless guys and give them lots of alcohol and play bumper cars all day but im normal.

It really doesn't matter how talented you are if you don't put it together on the field. That's all i'm saying. CJ isn't the first WR in the NFL to not have good QB play. He isn't the first WR to see a double team. He isn't the first WR to get bumped at the line of scrimmage. He's faster, stronger, and more talented then every CB he lines up against, but he doesn't put up big numbers. I think CJ can potentially be a great WR in the NFL, but right now he isn't. He's a superior talent, but he hasn't put it together on a week to week basis.

I kind of like the Lions, but I will have to agree. But I think once they start winning, CJ will start showing more emotion and play more aggressive. He was non-chalant that game imo.

No. I'm not like that usually- I usually love stats. But CJ is amazing- already a clear future hall of famer- barring injuries of course.

That's my biggest problem with CJ. He doesn't have that fire that Moss, Owens, and some of the great ones have. These guys demand the ball, and they get it. It gets them labeled as diva's, but it also gets them the ball. Everyone knows CJ has the talent, but he should be screaming for the ball on a constant basis because he has the talent to take it to the house when it's in his hands. He seems like a really good dude, but on the field he needs to turn into an absolute animal and destroy the man in front of him. He just doesn't have that killer instinct yet.

oh no i was talking to drobe86, cuz Giants99 made a thread about how schaub is overrated

Oh, haha my bad

Johnson was double and triple teamed last season. He had Culpepper and a rookie Stafford throwing to him. There were no other receivers on the team, at all.

This year, he's had the same problem due to injuries. Hill's been throwing to him, and Burleson's hurt. They had to run two-TE sets against the Eagles because they have no receiver outside of Megatron.

I guess you can question his demeanor (in the sense that he needs to demand the ball), but the whole offense is based around him and he gets all of the targets anyways. It's just that the offense has never been able to move the ball, and he just doesn't have any opportunities.
